John Tanton Network

The John Tanton Network describes the anti-immigrant "empire of organizations" created by, or connected to, population-control advocate/ nativist John Tanton.

The Center for New Community reports that "what appears to the public as a myriad of voices advocating for severe immigration enforcement is nothing more than a series of front groups, “coalitions,” and spin-offs seeking to overwhelm reasonable debate on immigration."

The Center for New Community has created a map of the network.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has compiled a list of organizations within the John Tanton Network, many of which the SPLC classifies as "hate groups".
